Tim, I hate to have this conversation with you, but I've received too many complaints and something must be said.

I will preface it by saying that I admire your tenacity in debate, and I appreciate your writing ability. While some of the points you have raised in the past I did find to be too small, minutia things, others have been helpful or intriguing, and I appreciate that as well.

That said, it doesn't matter how good you are in writing or debate if you cannot play nice with others.

Administrators may not warrant exceptional status by default, but some basic respect for veteran editors (which all admins are) should be given. And I want to see more of that from you. I want to be convinced that underneath that combative exterior, you still discuss in good faith, that you are you are fighting toward a consensus, instead of just arguing for argument's sake.

You may want to start from reading up on Wikipedia's policies on how editing is done. While we don't follow all of their rules (e.g. we have much lower standards for notability, if at all), most of it applies. I admit that, in regards to issues specific to our subject matter there is often no established consensus, but I have faith we can figure this out - but only together, as a community.

I don't want to lose any of you, but if other editors start leaving the project because of your belligerence, I will do what must be done.
